In this exclusive interview excerpt, Andrew dives deep into the economic aftermath of Brexit with Patrick, a seasoned expert in global economics.
Patrick offers a candid perspective, characterizing Brexit as a less-than-ideal solution and drawing parallels with the Scottish independence vote's negotiation dynamics. Originally hailing from Ireland, he reflects on the evolving dynamics of Irish emigration, noting a shift towards Ireland becoming a destination rather than a departure point.

I'd say they treat me like a Nazi but Remainers are the ones on the streets chanting for the destruction of the Jews (try finding a Brexiteer who supports Hamas, good luck with that). Well, anyway, the Remainers treat me like the worst scum to have ever lived or will ever live. And I voted Remain, albeit because of a balanced view not a zealous advocacy.

The impact good weather and outdoor living makes on your life cannot be overestimated. Also, personal tax is very high when factoring in living expenses.

[@chipcook5346]

I had a friend who lived there for a year. (We are Americans who went to school in Knoxville which is dank and cloud covered 300 days a year -- or was back then.) When he returned, I asked him about his stay. He said he liked the people. It wasn't that cold, but it was a wet cold that went all the way to the bone and never went away for most of the year. Plus, that was the same part of the year when the days are really short. Cold, wet, no light. Thus ended my interest in Ireland.

[@mmeade9402]

Brexit wasn't really a vote on the EU. It was a vote against mass 3rd world migration. At the time it was in the middle of the refugee crises, English is the global language, and people were concerned they were about to be flooded by migrants that speak half broken English. And with the EU at the time still playing the "we can do it" song and dance, it was a very real concern. Little did the English know that their own government would just open the flood gates of migration without the EU....

[@j.jwhitty5861]

Britain was never a committed member of the EU since it refused to use the EURO, blocked every attempt to have a single European Army and was totally against any form of a Confederate Europe, hence; your assertion that the British equivocation on migration left the public uncertain about their EU membership is hogwash. I predicted at the time of Brexit that the European Union would become larger with Albania, Serbia and Ukraine joining and indeed stronger both economically and military which was an absolute necessity to counter isolationist US in the West, aggressive Russia in the East and autocratic China in the South. I have no malevolence towards the British people, however; I do look forward to the day UK stands in line with Turkey and Kazakhstan seeking membership again with their tails between their legs after realising "Global Britain" miserably failed. 🙂

You expose your total lack of understanding of European migration. Third country nationals are handled by the member states OWN laws not EU level laws/directives. I should know, I'm now a third country national (UK citizen) in an EU member state. Furthermore the UK did not implement any of the options the EU directives on free movement allow. There are many member states which require any EU citizen staying longer than three months to register with the immigration authorities and provide, with proof, the reason for them being there. The UK did not do this, it just handed NI numbers out like candy. And you got your just deserts as now you have non-European immigration running at record highs - ha! Suckers.

[@TysonJensen]

For people who just sit on their loans a floating loan is on average better but that's not what real borrowers do. If you can fix for 30 years and the rate goes down, you refinance to the lower rate. So the 30-year fixed people in the US re-fi to whatever is the lowest rate from the first 10-15 years of the initial loan and pay that for 30 years (because usually the new loan resets the loan term back to 30 years). Averaging those two numbers gives American borrowers the lowest cost of capital of any home owner in the world, it's the one thing the US still does better than anyone.

Ireland has surprisingly seen big net benefits from Brexit. IRL now as the only English speaking country in the EU, is an obvious first choice for multinationals from outside the EU seeking a base there. Lots of UK ppl now work in IRL, as they are legally allowed to, under rules which date back to independence from the UK >100 years ago. That said, IRL is stressed now. Housing is a national crisis. Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford etc should have high rise residential structures. But no, there are none, last I looked. There is massive public resistance to higher density building zoning, which is the only feasible solution to the lack of supply. Or, build a high speed rail line up to Northern Ireland, where everything is relatively cheap, and have ppl commute from there. There are solutions, but you have to be flexible.

[@TwoDollarGararge]

[@swaggery]

Economic mobility is easier to pull off if you are already rich. At a certain level of wealth and income it can be very risky. Rents raise, you get fired, you are fucked. Best case is you hardly save anything as moving itself is fairly expensive. Most jobs out there don't pay all that amazing either, so a switching of companies for a raise won't yield great benefit given the risk involved. Totally different story if your job pays enough where you can retire in less than 10 years if you really wanted to, and moving companies yields an increase in raise of more than $15,000.

[@MrBlaxjax]

I agree. Moving abroad is great but it can be difficult to reestablish yourself when you get back home. You have to rejoin your library, keep up with all that’s changed, get up to date on social security payments, get a place to live, get a job and for mortals it’s not always easy. Moving abroad is however sometimes necessary to avoid poverty. Think Ireland in the 1980s or Russia in the 1990s. Moving abroad can also be a good option for pensioners due to the potential low cost of living ‘abroad’ but clearly you need a watertight plan to move back home if necessary. People can become vulnerable in late old age.

[@swaggery]

@@MrBlaxjax Yeah, agreed. Patrick's tone, it sounds like he hasn't really thought about why most people live so close to their mothers. So I'm just brainstorming for that. Like if the financial rewards were great enough, everybody would do it. So there's a real reason people don't move across the country or to a different country, besides them being stupid.

Moving is basically a fixed cost. If you're on low wages it's a vastly larger % of your total wealth (either paid up front or loaned) than someone who is affluent and can afford it like they afford a nice brunch.

[@TysonJensen]

Patrick is not a politician, and Brexit did in fact happen to the extent allowable under the law. Namely, the bankers who wanted it got exactly what they expected and the regular people who were promised a bunch of illegal BS didn't get any of the illegal BS they were promised. You have the Good Friday treaty that literally prevents a hard border between Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland. That means you have to put your "hard" border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. This was always non-negotiable and anyone who promised differently was probably a British banker who just wanted your vote. Sorry to all those who voted for Brexit, but there wasn't a magical brexit deal that would benefit any non-bankers. Only the one that benefited the fraudulent money men who didn't want to follow EU capital control laws.

[@jbennison5672]

That useless moron (I forget his name) who all the brexiteers were flag waving for got his arse handed to him on the first day of negotiations. It all started to unravel from them.

The Pacific is half a day away so services cannot be sold as that means working up to 12 hours time difference.

No, the deal happened as expected and this was what the Remain campaign warned about! The complete dislocation from the UK's largest trading partners in order to pursue a nonsense trade deal with a protectionist USA and Shangri-La was always a total fantasy.

The truth about Brexit (which this chap Boyle was dancing on the head of a pin about) is that David Cameron as leader of the Conservatives put the Brexit referendum in his party manifesto for the General Election in 2015 because many voters were unhappy with us being in the EU. He didn't expect to win (and that was why Brexit was in his manifesto), and of course when he did win he reluctantly had to give us the Brexit referendum. And we grabbed our chance to leave the EU with both hands!!! I would agree it has been an up hill battle leaving the EU. As a net financial contributor they didn't want us taking our money with us. But gradually we are getting their tentacles out of our sovereign business as a nation state.

[@CG_CAKE]

The economic history of the Republic of Ireland effectively began in 1922, when the then Irish Free State won independence from the United Kingdom.[2] The state was plagued by poverty and emigration until the 1960s when an upturn led to the reversal of long term population decline. However, global and domestic factors combined in the 70s and 80s to return the country to poor economic performance and emigration. The 1990s, however saw the beginning of unprecedented economic success, in a phenomenon known as the "Celtic Tiger", which continued until the 2008 global financial crisis, specifically the post-2008 Irish economic downturn. It also led to Ireland becoming the most indebted state in the European Union.[3] As of 2015, the Republic has returned to growth, and was the fastest growing economy for that year.[4] In May 2023, Irish unemployment was at a record low of 3.8%. so yea you must reflect a bit on ur comment.

[@Ligerpride]

Why should a city be positively assessed on the basis of how much diversity there is there? An Irish guy likes London because he's working with Indian, Chinese and Russian friends. Why is that a good thing? Did the English people that inhabited the place 60 years ago really care what a foreigner thinks of his home town based on what the foreigner was looking for when he moved there of his own free will? This melting pot idea is merely a takeover and it's also illogical with only a minor analysis required. Why is it that somebody could be identifiable as Indian, Chinese or Russian as they came from there both physically and ethnically yet when in London the mix of these people becomes a London culture? The Indian and Chinese culture back home isn't effected but the English city is.

Yet all the reasons stated for Brexit show that it was a mistake. Economically that is clear. Sovereignty-wise we have less influence and we must take regulations from the EU for economic reasons.

Oh and the world is moving towards strong man politics with China, Russia, The US being the powerhouses and we are nothing but spit is comparison. Only the EU is a possible lever/counterbalance.

Patrick comes across as an economist. Brexit had other implications for the British people than economic outcomes. The EU is a savagely totalitarian structure and is becoming more observably so. So economic pain in the short term to not be beholden to a totalitarian overlord in the long term is a point that an economist wouldn't get. Freedom is a measure that is difficult to reliably quantify but it is the most important to real people so accountants and economists are great at reducing the world to a single, efficient governing structure. In reality, humanity doesn't work that way, otherwise the Soviet Union would have been the greatest most prosperous nation that has ever existed. We all know that's utter hogwash. And for all of you that say the US worked - the individual states of the US have a lot of freedoms. In the EU, they don't. Just like the Soviet Union.
